I have experience with all ranges of special needs including Autism and severe behavior disorders. I have done work as a Medical Nanny for several families on Care. com. I have a strong passion for what I do, my help is rewarding and brings me happiness. I am energetic and love to be active. In 2014 I graduated with honors from a medical program. I am an RBT register behavior technician specializing in ABA therapy. I Will Help With Life Challenges And To Achieve Personal Goals.
